Description

Have you ever wanted to know exactly how to make a certain potion? Maybe see alternative ingredients for potions you already know? Ever wanted to know where to find a certain ingredient?

Well fear not young alchemist, for master alchemist Sarius Arven has heard your pleas and took it upon himself to travel the width and bredth of Skyrim and Solstheim researching and logging all his Alchemic findings! To make things even better he has published a series of volumes brimming with information regarding ingredients, potions and poisons native to Skyrim and Solstheim. This glorious set is for sale at all good Alchemist's, but you may have to do some travelling to obtain the entire collection. You can buy his set in seperate tomes for quick-flicking, or buy his entire catalog in just 4 tomes (and a journal)!

Sarius's Collection covers the following subjects regarding Alchemy:

Ingredients

He has written a catalog covering every ingredient in the game thus far (including those added by all official DLC). For those who don't wish to flick through this huge book every time they wish to view a certain ingredient, the work is available in 5 seperate tomes (alphabetical by name of ingredient): A-C, D-F, G-J, L-R, S-Y

The seperate Solstheim volume is also available.

The main catalog is worth up to 1,000 Septims, and each individual tome costing 900 each.

PotionsAs with the ingredient section, most (I cannot garuantee all) craftable potions are covered. There is a catalog available for potions aswel, but it has also been split into 4 seperate tomes for those that want a quick-flick: Cure and Restore, Resist, Skill and Misc.

The catalog itself costs up to 750 Septims with each tome moderately priced.

Poisons

Poisons is the area of Alchemy that Sarius really enjoyed researching. He concocted every known concoction of deadly plant to discover the best combinations possible, and is very proud of his work. This tome isn't sold in seperate volumes, but as 1 catalog costing up to 800 Septims.The Dark Brotherhood swear by this volume!

Specialist Potions

For the first time, Sarius is releasing copies of his journal, in which he wrote down combinations for some of the greatest potions ever made!

Bidding for this item could go as high as 1,000 Septims!

So what are you waiting for? Your Alchemic saviour is out there waiting to be purchased!

Note: Currently all the tomes are available for purchase at all Alchemists within the hold capitals. Each store has 1-3 garuanteed tomes, plus levelled lists for the rest - so you may get lucky.

The Hunterborn addon adds all ingredients from Hunterborn into all the tomes. Requires the main file as it replaces the information within the books.Note that this does not add ingredients found on Dragons such as their eyes or hearts. Sarius is an alchemist, not a dragon slayer.

Note from Fyrelady on release:I mainly made this mod for myself after using The Great Book of Alchemy and felt it was very untidy and an update didn't seem likely since the author of that mod doesn't seem to be on much anymore. It was an idea I really liked, because I like Alchemy but I very rarely used it without having to Alt-Tab out of the game to check the wiki. I hope this mod makes more people actually try utilising Alchemy, as I've discovered that after you get it to 50-60+ some potions and poisons you make are alot more powerful than some you can simply find in the world. I put alot of effort into this and hope you like it :)

================

In Progress:- More integration- More vanilla style recipe notes- Better book names

Completed (unreleased):- Integration in shops via Levelled Lists only, so as not to conflict with USKP Merchant fixes- Integration to more loot (Apothecary Satchels, levelled book placements etc)
